Grilled Calamari Radish Salad with Lemon Dill Vinaigrette
Recipe Courtesy Robin Miller, 2007
Cooking spray
1 pound fresh calamari
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup radishes, sliced
1 jar pimentos, about 7 ounces, drained
1 tablespoon capers, drained
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, about 1/2 lemon
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
4 to 6 red lettuce leaves

Heat a stove top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Season calamari with salt and black pepper. Place calamari on hot pan and cook 2 minutes per side stirring with a spoon, until opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and allow to cool. When calamari is cool enough to handle, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Transfer calamari to a medium bowl and add radishes, pimentos and capers.

In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice and mustard. Using a spoon, stir in dill. Add dressing to calamari mixture and stir to coat. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Arrange lettuce leaves on a serving platter and top with calamari salad.
